I'm checking out either a Transit connect or Caddy lwb. Bit more stealth bit more mobile. Ulez charge is forcing something newer. A 2015/16 dispatch is also on the list.
Are you looking to buy them or exchange for the standard single & double combo?

They swivel yes.
Anyone have experience with after market barrels? Did they work OK after replacing them?
Hi where are you ?
Thanks Phil
Based in london but will be selling in Derbyshire.
If anything I'd need a double and a drivers seat.
I think these are well sought after. Got pics?


I remember that pain in the arse job from my last expert hence my present mirrors have silicon to stop them vibrating
Maybe an obvious question, but where did you put the silicone to stop the vibration on the mirror?
I don't want to glue it so it can't be adjusted!
Agreed, amazing write up.
On a side note, we're the barrels you replaced after market or from an old model?
Will sort pics of the chairs and van shortly. Ideally looking to sell van but assumed everyone here would already have something.

Cheers, yes iv come across what you did in your engine by and I would love to do the same, though I'm struggling to find someone that can sort it for me! I only want 4 small led spot lights in the back of my van running at Watts: 0.2 Each apparently so I'm hoping I can keep my battery size down, unless i can magic more room.
Cheers guys. Im not looking for something that needs to last for hours in a row. A bit of bed time reading, a little music and a quick boast of power for the phone.
Im looking for a leisure battery to go ideally in the front of my Dispatch (engine bay) perhaps with a little jimmy-ing of the window washer fluid pipe! As I'm only looking to run a few lights (6 max) and a usb charger (iPhone) how small could I go, assuming i was only camping for a couple of days?
I been told a 40ah would do but also no smaller than a 80ah! Any help with this would be great!
wow and wow! very nice build. Im looking for some help with a basic leisure battery/light fit. Any recommendations?
Wow they are pretty tight on the back! But look good.

Pictures showing inner clearances at the rear.
And can I see the actual alloys in their glory?

They currently have 215/60/16 tyres on which make them a little close to the arches on the rear but fine at the front. I do believe that the 807 came with either 15 inch or 16 inch I believe. So should both fit. Like Vaz212 says check your wheel studs too.
Any chance of a picture? Would love to see what they look like.
Follow the link below to see the rears up close. Close but been running them now for over a week and no issues.
Wow they are pretty snug aren't they?!
How did that effect your insurance, if any?
So are you saying if I want to 'plug' anything in with a conventional 3 pin plug i need an inverter?
...and if I want a "240 volt plug socket" (regular plug thing) i'll need some inverter business happening?
Would a kit like this be straight forward?

Would I need a fuse for every light I use? Socket I use?
Ok another question. Do you have any experience with adjusting the infamous side doors? As in removing the top runner arm and housing, potentially giving it a little bend or sinching in to take away the gap that a lot of people seem to be suffering from?
BTW msmith. This is how simple it is to install the split charge in the link

The three red wires from the fuse box i have one powering the lights and lights earthed on the van body. One powering the USB/Power sockets and earthed on van body and another powering a 2nd stereo. You dont have to have the fuse box. You just need to put a fuse on the live wire to each items. The fuse box just keeps thing neat.
The red wire brom battery to split charge and the wire from split charge to leisure battery should have a fuse. These are provided with the kit and so it full instructions. Go for it.
Thanks again, looking at this its hard to see why I wouldn't do it myself! You think just getting one of the standards kits or the individual components is the way to go?

Cheers but the 897 are actually 15inchers and are advertised as 215/65/R15, i assume because my Dispatch is 205/65/15R they won't fit?

Would you happen to know if any wheel (alloy) measuring 215 65 15 will fit a 54 plate dispatch? Iv heard wheels off an alfa fit but Iv also seen the Peugeot 807 wheel look like they have the same spec and now iv come across Kia/land rover.
I assume with the tyre size your van is already fitted with 15" steel wheels......... The Alloys on my van are after market (can't remember make ) .....
The wheel fitment that Casper posted looks correct from memory ............ 807 wheels I think are all 16" and would need something like a 205/55/16The Land Rover and Kia wheels will have wrong PCD so won't fit
you might find this useful
whatever alloys you buy just make sure to use correct wheel bolt and don't assume steel wheel nuts/bolts will do
I'll do my research, cheers for the offer.
